When you’re looking to develop a holy grail of just in time information and resources for your learners, don’t be surprised when they dip in and out, abandon mid-module, or skip to page three of a PDF. Unless we’re talking compliance or a course awarding credentials , a drop in course completions might actually be a good thing.

Would you go hiking on an unknown trail without a map? You could, but it wouldn’t be very smart. The same is true when you create an online course. Before you start adding lesson content at random it pays to think about the actual structure of your content by creating a storyboard.

Back in 1922, Thomas Edison once predicted that the motion picture would transform the way we learn: "I believe that the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks.". According to the book, The Flickering Mind, by Todd Oppenheimer, Edison had been “even more pedagogically expansive” back in 1913, when he said that film makes it “possible to touch every branch of human knowledge.”.
